I have the same problem with my acer laptop, it seems that the acpi support in 2.6 kernel is at the moment a bit buggy, if a programmer reads this list, it would be greatly appreciated, that this got fixed, laptops under linux are at least 10 degrees of celsius above a windows installation... ive had this problem not only with my own acer, but with other laptops too... not all though, so i think its a problem with the definitions of acpi devices... i have an acer tm 250 btw. <div> On 11/4/06, gary <<a href="mailto:garys@mtaonline.net">garys@mtaonline.net</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> On Fri, 2006-11-03 at 17:40 -0600, <a href="mailto:fedora-list@jamesplace.net">fedora-list@jamesplace.net</a> wrote: > I've got a problem booting kernel-2.6.18-1.2200.fc5 > > I'm using an eMachine T2240 system. > CPU: CPU, CEL-2.2G/128K/F400,mPGA478,SL6RW CPEMIN100155 > CPU Fan Type: Fan, H/SINK:117162CBL01,MPGA,P4P-2.4G,W/ > > (The above was collected from: > <a href="http://parts.emachines.com/emachines/sys_lookup.asp">http://parts.emachines.com/emachines/sys_lookup.asp</a> ) > > When I boot the 18-1.2200 kernel the CPU cooling fan power off as the > words, "Uncompressing Linux Kernel....Ok booting kernel." appear on the > screen. > > Prior to this kernel I've had a problem where the fan will power off when the > CPU heats up too much.

Is the cpu shutting down because of overheating? If not, which kernel can you use without problem? Then compare the boot up parameters - between the working and non-working kernels. Sometimes a kernel may fail to load a module. Often you'll find that some kernels will work better with your system than others. --------gary -- fedora-list mailing list <a href="mailto:fedora-list@redhat.com">fedora-list@redhat.com</a> To unsubscribe: <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list </a> </blockquote></div> -- Oliver Leitner
